"What do you mean? Mu Cheng, you make it clear. ”

Xuan Xue originally wanted to catch up and ask, but Qi Mucheng had already turned his head coldly, closed the door of the room, and also shut Xuan Xue and Xuan Xue's words outside.

Xuan Xue gritted her teeth angrily, "Qiao Ruoyu, it's a good thing that you ruined me again, let's see, it's not certain who wins and who loses!" ”

Qi Ming's house.

Looking at the long-lost big bed in front of her, Qiao Ruoyu still missed it a little, she basically slept in the hospital for the past few days, and she had never been able to sleep well, and she was finally able to sleep well tonight.

However, not long after Qiao Ruowei lay in the room, she received a phone call.

This was a call from someone close to the old patriarch.

"Miss Qiao, the patriarch hopes that you can come to the hospital now, the sooner the better, the patriarch has something important to tell you."

"What's the matter? In a hurry? Why do you have to go now? ”

Qiao Ruowei was a little confused, didn't she just separate from the patriarch? What will be important, could it be that the patriarch's condition has worsened again?

Thinking of this, Qiao Ruoyu hurriedly sat up and said to the other side of the phone, "Okay, I'll be there soon." ”

After about twenty minutes, Qiao Ruoyu rushed to the hospital.

The two people standing in front of the ward saw Qiao Ruoyu coming, opened the door for her and left.

Qiao Ruowei suppressed the strong uneasiness in her heart and slowly walked into the ward.

In the ward, the patriarch was sitting on the hospital bed with a pillow, looking like he had been waiting for a long time, and his expression was a little tired.

Qiao Ruoyu saw the patriarch sitting there, and the heart that mentioned her throat sank, fortunately, the patriarch was fine.

"Here," the patriarch saw Qiao Ruoyu come in, the corners of his mouth pulled out a smile with difficulty, and his voice was hoarse as if it had been torn, Qiao Ruoyu immediately rushed to the front of the patriarch, wanting to check his condition for him.

The patriarch waved his hand, and at the same time pointed to the door, signaling Qiao Ruoyu to close the door of the ward.

Qiao Ruowei had no choice but to go to the door, close the door, and then turn back to the hospital bed.

"Ruoyu, I have a very important thing to tell you, I didn't want to be in such a hurry, but I'm afraid that if I wait any longer, it will be too late."

After saying these few words, the patriarch began to cough violently, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Qiao Ruoyu hurriedly poured a glass of water for the patriarch, and after drinking it, she felt better.

"Patriarch, is there something we can talk about another day? You're too weak now, so I'll help you get to the doctor. ”

Qiao Ruowei was a little nervous, and just wanted to get up, she found that her hand was tightly grasped by the patriarch.

"I don't need to call a doctor, I know my own body."

"But—"

Qiao Ruoyu looked at the bloodless face of the patriarch, and she was already so anxious that she was about to cry.

"It's okay, don't worry, you listen to me first, what I'll tell you next is very important, it is a major matter related to the Qi family, you have to listen carefully."

Qiao Ruoyu held back her tears and nodded.

"Although I handed over the position of patriarch to Qi Ming, it doesn't mean that I completely trust him, and now I want to give you a privilege," said the patriarch, taking the ring that he had been wearing on his index finger and handing it to Qiao Ruowei.

"This ring was given to me by the old patriarch of the previous term, it represents the power to change the patriarch once, if Qi Ming has different intentions, or does something bad for the Qi family, you can take this ring to remove his position as patriarch, and at the same time, set up a new patriarch."

After Qiao Ruowei heard this, she hurriedly wanted to return the ring to the old patriarch: "No, patriarch, this is too precious, I can't ask for it." ”

"Take it," although the old patriarch's body is very weak now, his voice is still sonorous and powerful, and there is no doubt about it.

"I believe in you, that's why I chose to give you this privilege, only then can I rest assured that you will not let me down."

As he spoke, the patriarch coughed violently again, this time it was even more serious, the patriarch had coughed up blood, and his breath was a little unstable.

Seeing this, Qiao Ruowei hurriedly rushed out to find a doctor.

The patriarch was taken to the rescue room.

The red light in the rescue room has been on, and Qiao Ruowei's heart has been hanging.

A lot of the elders in the family came, and Qi Ming also came, all waiting uneasily outside the door of the rescue room.

The lights are off.

"I'm sorry, we've done our best."

When she heard this, Qiao Ruoyu seemed to have all the strength of her body drained, and she couldn't support it and fell to the ground in an instant.

Qi Ming hurriedly helped her up.

Qiao Ruoyu held the ring that the old patriarch gave her in her hand before her death, and held it tightly, until the edges and corners of the ring stabbed the flesh in her palm, and Qiao Ruoyu gradually came back to her senses.

After returning home, Qiao Ruowei hung the ring around her neck.

The funeral of the old patriarch was held with great pomp.

After all, the Qi family is a big family, and the old patriarch is a highly respected figure, so there are many people who come to attend the funeral.

As a family member, Qiao Ruoyu has been standing next to her and bowing, almost for a whole day.

After the funeral, there is a meeting within the family.

The old patriarch originally said that he would pick a time to hold the patriarch handover ceremony, but now that he died suddenly, he had to advance the ceremony, and the ceremony was only carried out simply, and the main purpose was to confirm Qi Ming's patriarch position.

After a busy day, Qiao Ruoyu just wanted to go home to rest, but was blocked by Xuan Xue at the door.

"Qiao Ruowen, don't be in a hurry to leave, there are some things, I'm afraid you still need to explain it to everyone."

Xuan Xue's voice was not big, it was not small, and it could just reach the ears of everyone present.

"What's the matter?"

Originally, today was the funeral of the old patriarch, Qiao Ruoyu's mood was very low, and now that Xuan Xue had nothing to do, an unknown anger surged into her heart.

"What's the matter, you're embarrassed to ask me something? You were the only one present when the old patriarch died, how do we know if the death of the old patriarch has something to do with you? ”

The more she asked, the louder Xuan Xue's voice became, as if she was afraid that the people here wouldn't be able to hear what she said.

The anger in Qiao Ruoyu's heart gradually rose, and even the words that came out seemed to be bursting out one by one through gritted teeth: "Do you suspect that I killed the old patriarch?" ”

Xuan Xue snorted disdainfully, "Why can't you doubt it?" Unless you can come up with evidence that the old patriarch's death has nothing to do with you, you are the suspect in the old patriarch's death. ”

After hearing Xuan Xue's words, the people at the scene also began to whisper, and the spearhead was basically pointed at Qiao Ruoyu.

"That's right, I heard that in the end, only Qiao Ruoyu was alone by the old patriarch's side, and there are indeed suspicions."

"Didn't the old patriarch tell her to go? It's also thanks to the old patriarch who is so good to her, how can she be so ruthless? ”

When Xuan Xue heard these words, she hooked the corners of her mouth with satisfaction, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and looked like she was watching a good show.

Qiao Ruoyu also squinted, it seems that some people just can't change their eating, if they don't clean her up every few days, she will always be healed and forget the pain.

"Enough of that?"

Qiao Ruowei's voice was not loud, but it was enough to silence those who were whispering, and the room became quiet all of a sudden.

"I should be the only one who has read the old patriarch's diagnosis report, right? The sudden death was due to the accumulation of hard work and the lack of qi and blood, may I ask how I killed the old patriarch? ”

Qiao Ruoyu looked around at the people in the room, and the people who were justified and evidenced just now lowered their heads.

"This is one of them," Qiao Ruowei gradually walked into the middle of the crowd, "In addition, if I am not mistaken, there should be surveillance video in every ward in the hospital that the old patriarch said, and those who don't believe it can go and check to see if the old patriarch was really killed by me?" ”

Qiao Ruowei said, picked up a glass of wine and took a sip, "This is the second." ”

"Whether I do this or not, Miss Xuan slandered me in front of so many people without evidence, do you have to give me an explanation?"

Qiao Ruoyu paused, then turned her gaze to Xuan Xue, and said slowly, "This is the third. ”

Xuan Xue couldn't say a word when she was already blocked, and she was just standing there panting for breath at the moment.

"Qiao Ruowen, don't think that I will be afraid of you in this way, I will go to check the monitoring of the hospital tomorrow, if I find out that the death of the old patriarch has something to do with you, I will definitely let you walk around without eating."

It's all come to this point, but Xuan Xue is still talking fast.

Qi Mucheng was also at the scene, and after seeing this situation, he hurriedly walked over and pulled Xuan Xue away.

When everyone saw that Xuan Xue was gone, they didn't mention it again, and everything seemed to be back to normal.

Qi Ming also came over with a glass of wine, put it in Qiao Ruoyu's ear and said, "It's really good, it's worthy of my Qi Ming's woman." ”

Qiao Ruoyu didn't bother to talk nonsense with Qi Ming anymore, she just wanted to go home and rest now, "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first." ”

Qi Ming nodded slightly, and Qiao Ruoyu left.

After Xuan Xue was taken away by Qi Mucheng, she still looked unwilling, and made a fuss in the car: "I must go to check the monitoring, and I must reveal Qiao Ruowei's true face, I don't believe that the death of the old patriarch has nothing to do with her!" ”

"Enough of that?"

Qi Mucheng only felt that his brain hurt from being argued by the woman next to him, and his temples were beating at great speed.

"Mu Cheng, don't you believe me? Would you rather believe Qiao Ruowei than believe me? ”

"From now on, you will take care of the fetus at home, and you are not allowed to leave the gate of the Qi family without my permission, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind!"

"Why?"

"Just by the stupid things you did! If you still want to give birth to the baby in your belly, just be obedient, otherwise, I don't know what I will do. ”

"No, you won't hurt the child, this is our child."

"If you keep making trouble like this, you can try!"

Xuan Xue looked at the cold light shooting out of Qi Mucheng's pupils, and closed her mouth in reality.
